Updating my review after the kind response from the owner. Sounds like they were quick to remedy things at Frisby's. We would love to accept the offer of the 2 free flights, but we are from out of state. However, if we're ever in the area again, we will certainly stop by and give Frisby's another try. Their wines really are fantastic. read more

I was so disappointed with my experience at Frisby. We ordered some beers and some apps/flatbreads, because it seemed like a convenient spot and some "bar food" sounded good and easy. I'll start with the good. The pretzel was big, warm, and easy to share. The beers were good too (both IPAs and non). The outside space is perfect to watch boats go by and enjoy the day. Now for the not good. We ordered two different flatbreads, pepperoni and bbq chicken. Both of these were barely edible. My friend compared it to "gas station pizza." I can't even tell you what gas station pizza tastes like, but I would agree that it's the worst pizza I've had in a very long time. The cheese was barely heated and rubbery. The pizzas were so doused in sauce that it would have been more pleasant taking some raw shots of "sweet baby rays" directly from the bottle. These would not even pass as kid approved. We will be sticking to the other Frisby location from now on. read more

Very impressive wine from Paso Robles and such a beautiful atmosphere with ocean views! Service was great and there is a lot of space. I appreciate the larger pours and they are very dog friendly too! read more

Tracy the manager is AWESOME!!!! if you have not gone here in the Dana Point Harbor you are literally missing the BOAT wines are fabulous!

If you are looking for a spot to do wine tastings in Dana Point Harbor, make a stop here. Tracy kindly assisted me with her professionalism at the counter. She made suggestions on all the most popular red wines they offered. You get 6 tastings for about $21 at reasonable pourings. They had the best Merlot, I've ever had. Very settled not too bitter than most I've tried. Therefore, I had Tracy pour me a double tasting. Perfect to sip on while gazing overlooking the ocean. This tasting room is quite unique with ocean views and people watching. Everyone was having a great time either cruising on boats, SUP, fishing, kayaking, or simply just walking around with their loved ones. Kids are allowed so I brought my daughter with me. She had ice cream and Mama had some wine. It's a win-win for everybody. They do offer a food menu, but I didn't get a chance to try it out. From what I saw being served to other customers, the food does look delicious. Inside and outside seating are available on a first come first serve basis. Luckily, we were able to snag a table outside overlooking the water before it rapidly got busy. Glad I found this place through YELP! read more

Worst service!!! Sat at the bar, only had 4 people at bar and the bartenders couldn't be bothered to come and serve us. Too busy chatting with people that had paid the bill and 2 others who had their drinks and food Ridiculous! Well, you lost out. Skip this place. read more

My best friend has been telling me about a wine tasting place that she loves in Dana Point Harbor. Frisby's Cellars recently moved into the Waterman's Harbor space. My friend is a wine club member there. As a member, there are a number of free tastings and other discounts. You can order wine flights, wine by the glass or by the bottle and draft beers. The food options are limited but they allowed my friend on a prior to have fish and chips delivered from Jon's Fish Market next door. We were there for lunch and we ordered a Mediterranean salad and a pepperoni flatbread to share and we each got a beer. We ordered at the bar counter and sat on upholstered chairs on the patio. The views of the harbor are beautiful with lots of boats, seals and people to watch. Our salad came out first and it was large (perfect size to split) and was fresh. It was not what I would call a traditional Mediterranean salad but it was delicious. Our flatbread came out shortly afterwards and it was piping hot and it was decent. The service was quick and on point. There are plenty of options to sit...indoors or on the patio where there is a lot to see in the harbor. They are known for being dog friendly so we brought our pups and we all had an amazing time. Next visit I will try some of their wines! read more

Came here for drinks after a family walk on the harbor and it was so beautiful. They recently moved locations and have a great patio right on the water. Drinks were great- I got the Sauvignon blanc and my husband got a beer. Service was sweet- the owner came by, introduced herself, asked about our family, shared about their other location, and adjusted the shades so the sun wasn't in my baby's eyes. Our bar server also helped us make a menu accommodation so our other son could get some grilled chicken from the kitchen. Loved our experience and will come back! read more

We are at Frisby cellars Shaylee and Teya waited on us again and want to write a good review the service very personal and amazing awesome knowledge regarding wines and pairings. Very respectful to members and repeat customers. The atmosphere in the harbor while under construction is very welcoming. read more

Very poor choice of wine, with even a poorer choice of food. The flatbread that was offered was uneditable. Extremely disappointing. It's hard to believe the restaurant is still in business. read more

Very nice chill wine bar (also serve a variety of microbrews they make in-house) on the water in Dana Point harbor. Nice helpful staff, good variety of wines. The food is not the 'star', think most is re-heated Sysco stuff. The water view is fantastic, cool vibe. Wine prices are not cheap but reasonable. They do have a "wine club" which offers a savings for their members, and they offer deals to their members that make sense. All in all, worth a visit. read more

Under staffed. Waiting in a single file line for maybe a single person helping at the bar isn't the right business model for expensive wine. read more

Everything here is amazing! This has become my new "Cheers" bar. The wine, the food, the service, and not to mention, the view! Dog friendly and kid friendly! It's literally my favorite place. Tracy and Shay are incredible and always brighten my day and always make everyone feel welcomed. Even when things are so busy, they always have a smile on their face and so pleasant to be around. It is by far my favorite place in town. Every staff member there is truly phenomenal. Great job and great crew! read more

I've always wanted to try this place at their other location in mission viejo but just haven't got around to it since I live quite far but I'm glad hubby noticed this location as we were hiking in the area today. We stopped by for a tasting flight & a small bite. Ambiance was nice as it was situated right on the Dana point harbor. They had indoor seating & outdoor patio. We got seated fairly quickly inside by the window & the view was lovely. The price for the tasting was great! Nowadays, it's hard to find 6 tasting flights for $20! It was our lucky day today bc on Mondays, they offer 2 for 1 tastings. The wines both white & red were better than expected. They had a good mixture of both new world & old world wines. As for food, they don't have a huge menu & they ran out of the charcuterie plate so we shared the Mediterranean platter & the beef empanadas. The empanadas were delicious & it was served nice & hot. The Mediterranean platter wasn't anything special but still a pretty good snack to nibble on. For the price of the tasting & the view, it's worth a future visit whenever we are back in the area. read more

We recently hosted a company event here and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. Lindy handled our booking and made the process effortless--she was prompt, helpful, and quick to answer every question I had. On the day of the event, the staff provided wonderful service and made sure everything ran smoothly. Our team had a great time, and the pricing was very reasonable. Thank you Frisby Cellars! read more

Met up with my cousin for a little wine tasting in a cute little town by the water. We opted for 6 red wines- we enjoyed all of them, my favorite was a Cabernet Sauvignon. We ordered a cheese tray and a flatbread pizza to pair with our flights. Our server was friendly and informative. We sat outdoors enjoying the sights and sounds and had a blast catching up. Definitely recommend Frisby Cellars. read more

I don't know about this place at this point. We went on a Sunday around noon, Sunday funday! At the harbor is all about sitting outside, drinking wine, enjoying good food. This place is in the old waterman's harbor which was a great place to hang out on a Sunday and eat and drink. We got there. We were literally the only people there, they had very little to serve out of the kitchen if they even had a menu, and there's no service. So you have to order at the bar. We ordered a glass of wine this used to be a great spot for hanging out on a Sunday with friends drinking and eating. I'm not sure what they're doing here read more

I came here on a whim last Thursday to watch the Seaside Sessions musicians at the Wharf. I thought I'd grab a glass of wine, but was enticed by their offer of 6 tastings for $20. Why not! The tasting menu was extensive, offering some whites, a rose, and a variety of reds. My personal favorites were the Cabernet Franc and their Dark Elements - a blend of Petite Syrah, Syrah, and Mourvedre. I sat outside to watch the performer, though there is ample seating space inside that looks excellent for groups. The server was very kind and friendly. It looked like she was the only one that evening, and was working to get everyone served and all food warmed! I ordered the pita and hummus platter to accompany my flight. The pita was super soft and squishy with each bite, and the hummus had great flavor. I'll be back before summer ends to catch another performer and tasting flight :) read more

We were told to 'quiet down ' then we left. Won't be back. Not worth it. The bartender said we were too loud. I'm 51 and have NEVER been told this in my life. I think it was a gross exaggeration and I won't recommend nor will I be returning. read more

Relaxed environment with cozy couches and bar seats. A few food options to pair with your wine tasting or bottle if you prefer. Really nice service and staff. Great place to just relax with a wine in hand by the docks. read more

Frisby Cellars - Amazing service and so fun! Thanks Tracy and Cindy - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Dana Point, California

Good wine and food, but felt rushed and unwelcoming especially on a Friday night. We were offered a cup to go to be escorted out Because they were closing in 20 minutes . It was not the experience anyone is looking for when they come to the harbor to unwind.. The staff did not appear to be professional in either demeanor or dress. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The wines are delicious! The Syrah was by far the best tasting. The Grenache, Mourvèdre and Rose were also equally delicious. You can choose from 6 tastings for $20. The ambiance and views of the harbor are great. Great wine tasting overall and the options and price were on point. Carlin and Cindy were the best Wine sommelier's and helped us make the best decisions! If you're in Dana for brunch, lunch or fishing you gotta stop by to taste some great wine or beer! read more
